Sex Pistols - A Controversial Band

rowena on Jun 16th 2008

The Sex Pistols is an English punk rock band that was created in London in 1975. The band members include John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock. Their initial career lasted only three years and they haveproduced only four singles and one studio album, “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols”. But the Sex Pistols have been described by the BBC as “the definitive English punk rock band.”The Pistols are widely credited with initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and creating the first generation gap within rock and roll.

The Sex Pistols created controversies which are famous in Britain, and somehow outdone their music. Their shows and tours repeatedly faced difficulties with organisers and authorities, and public appearances often ended in mayhem. Their 1977 single “God Save the Queen” was regarded as an attack on the British monarchy and British nationalism.

The Sex Pistols were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 24 February 2006, , but they refused to attend the ceremony, calling the museum “a piss stain”.
